As shown previously, The Sox make great contact off Pettite.
Hope it continues.

Two quick groundouts. I like it.
And Gameday already lost its strike zone.
Well, I'll appreciate for you to keep my zingers outta your mouth!
Yes! Grounds balls!
Quick Outs! This is what we need.

it’s early, but he looked great in that inning.

Did anyone see Tex's interview before game one?
Such a disingenuous putz. I was not on the Tex bandwagon because I don’t think he is worth a gazillion bucks but anyway…
He was such a schmuck ; commented that he hoped fans wouldn’t wish ill & death on his family. Whatever, get over yourself, it isn’t that serious Tex.
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

he seems like he would be the kind of guy that acts “humble” just so people will talk about how “humble” he is. putz is a good word for that.

Plenty, I'd expect.
His arm should be well stretched. Lots of good sized outings in ST, 4 innings for wake, 5.1 innings last time out. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him reach 90.
So far, I've NEVER felt insecure about Masterson starting.
He’s never been the type to let a game get away from him. And right now he’s looking better than usual.
by Ben Buchanan on Apr 26, 2009 8:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Me too.
Unfortunately, his arm action scares the hell out of me. I can’t see him being able to keep it up for 150+ IP per year.
I like all the stupid Joba
to the pen talk. As if the Yankees have such depth in their rotation, which is performing so well right now.
like the 1 extra inning now and then is a good band-aid
for taking out a good 5th starter when you have to bring guys up to fill in for CM “34ERA” Wang
Me too
The only good reason to move Joba to the pen would be if you needed more room in the dugout. Joba is a fat load.

Masterson isn't getting the outside calls Pettitte is.
Still making quick work of ’em. Love that inning almost as much as the first.
The veteran calls?
Home plate Ump: Gary Cederstrom
- 82.8 % pitch calling correctness (just under AVG)
- He has an average tendency to call borderline pitches either way
Every ball the Sox have hit so far has been hit hard

Leave it to Drew

Zimmer, per my father, should have been knocked on his arse for 1978.

I used to really love the guy. Just the way he was dogging it before he left really disappointed me.

saw your comment about the lack of comments to the grand slam
I wasn’t here but am certain others were stunned into silence

It was actually kinda funny how I broke the news to my mom (her:Tek::you:Manny).
I was out with my family and we had the DVR recording the game. My sister was asking why we were recording the game (she doesn’t get sports), and my mom said “What if Tek hits a Grand Slam?” When he hit it, I got a text alert on my cell, went up to her, and said, “Remind me again why we are recording this game?”
HA!
I gotta admit I was shocked when I heard it. I see Tek & think : automatic out.
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."

POLL-- who will be the hero tonight? Masterson, Youk, Bay, Pedroia? who?
I will take a guess that tonight will be Big Papi’s night….I also think that Nick Green will have a crucial hit…on the pitching side…I think that the bullpen pirates will prevail!
Hans-
Angel Berroa
am I the only one who didnt know he won the Rookie of the Year award?

A bunt ahead of Gardner
I’m not sure that’s the brightest move …

gardner has a

I am certain Jeter will get credit for causing th misplay

That seems a bit rash
He didn’t do so bad. It just got away from him early.

I meant that Masterson is pitching well
… and a bad hop and a botched fielding play extended the inning.

I read about the MFY wanting to keep the balls on ice as a means to curb the home runs in the new stadium and while I think I am mature, I laughed as I read the article

some people are bugging me tonight: Swisher , in the same way Millar bugged me
Cano because of his lax ’tude at times; Howie Long – his commericals are annoying & Matthew MCcoughaney ( sp?) because all his movies look dumb. I like to dvr games so I can fast forward thru the foolishness. I need to keep the remote handy I guess

I wish.
On a related note, does anybody have a school-appropriate phrase that could be abbreviated as BS? I’m running for a school office.
He's made some boneheaded basrunning mistakes this season, iirc.
As has much of the rest of the team. Papi trying to steal. After you already got the tying run, and there’s no double play to worry about, you sit at first and wait for the home run / double to drive you in.

Joe Morgan speaks
“Pedroia isn’t a basestealer.”
…
“Although, he did steal 20 bases last year, and was only caught one time. So he has a good percentage…”

- Jason Bay, on getting spiked scoring the winning run in ALDS Game Four.
Not when you steal at a percentage
higher than 75%. Then they start becoming valuable.

I'd have it on mute if they weren't allowing me to follow the game while trying to find a word for "S."
I think I’m going to use Better for “B,” just gotta find the second part.
I don’t like it when managers are interviewed during the games. It just seems wrong to me. They are busy, don’t bug them.

Matsui

And by shut down, I mean our whole 1-9 may have a homer by the end of the night.
sweet
So in this series, a balk by Joba, catchers interference yesterday, stealing home AND Drew hitting with RISP!! Its all happening!
dont forget
varitek’s grandslam.
all we need now is papi’s first HR
Poll--how long does Masterson go?
I think that Tito will want to save his bullpen….at least to the 7th maybe 9
This game turned awesome in a hurry.
